Are the Memphis Grizzlies a true championship contender?

What happened last year may be deceiving because the roster held by Memphis Grizzlies deserves to be seen as one of the best in the entire NBA. If they can avoid injuries and off-court issues with their star, Ja Morant, which heavily impacted last year, the team from Tennessee can aim for the top.

Many believe that Ja Morant has all it takes to make history in the NBA once he overcomes his discipline issues. The events of the past season could be a turning point for a player who must demonstrate his role as a supreme star, giving meaning to the great work done by management in recent times. Marcus Smart and Desmond Bane should be ideal lieutenants for a team where Jaren Jackson Jr must continue progressing.

As if that weren't enough, there are high expectations about what the rookie Zach Edey can bring, a man who can benefit from Morant's attention and be lethal in pick-and-roll and low-post play. All this is accompanied by a very complete second unit, with players who had more minutes than expected last year and responded sublimely, proving they have a place on this team.
